apple savings account balance shown in full view - should have passcode
The current balance of the Apple Savings account, displayed in the Wallet app, is readily visible to anyone nearby or who has access to my device.
For a while, we could only view our Apple Savings account balance by using our Apple passcode - which is obviously more secure and private.
But, now, with recent software updates it’s back showing our full Apple Savings account balance out in open view for anyone to see.
This is concerning especially for disabled persons who can’t use their hands well, as another person, such as a clerk, often has to assist at the checkout with the device - and, there it is - our Apple Savings account balance displayed in full open view! Great for being a robbery target and/or for people asking for money!
So, now I’m forced to use an old-fashioned plastic card and to find another bank account that’s private - the way a bank account is meant to be - rather than Apple Savings.
Please add the passcode back for viewing the Apple Savings balance amount, for added security and more account privacy!
